Got this in my office inbox. Interesting site!

HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on  November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam .. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands .. HEMA also has stores in Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany In June of this year, HEMA was sold to British investment company Lion Capital.

Take a look at HEMA’s product page. You can’t order anything and it’s in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. Don’t click on any of the products, just wait and see what happens. And be sure you have your sound turned up.

This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer, ya?

Interestingly, just because I had good (but not excellent) grades during poly days, lecturers & classmates had (and still have) high expectations from me.

On Facebook chat yesterday..

Me: Which year are you in now?

Classmate: 3rd going on 4th

Me: oh direct honors?

Classmate: no honors lah, grades too lousy

Me: Nvm lah! Me also no honors mah..

Classmate: How can? You are Skycloud leh!!!

Me: zzzzz

I studied wrong course can????? LOL

This has been a draft since 21Apr. Long time since I last sat down and complete the post. Continuing at last.

I’m not having enough sleep that’s for sure.

Had a strange dream last night, that Minyee went for a blind date! -.- And from her current house @ BB (in the dream), we have to help “transport” the groom to the new house @ JE. And the Trans-Island bus that we took, made so many turns that we alighted too early! Can’t remember how we made our way there, since the next scene of the dream, we were already at the destination. Why would Minyee go on a blind date and marrying that guy at the next instant? LoL! So funny!

Woke up freaking early at 7am! Went to 扫墓. Sigh.. Seeing grandpa’s photo there made me tear. Tear not from the smoky environment. =( For the few days after that, I miss Grandpa. Though I do not have that memories of him, except remembering him smoking from his pipe, and his last few months on earth lying on the bed, needing the help of the oxygen tank.. But I was told he doted me the most among all the grandchildren. Sigh..

Coz I missed my grandpa, I realised I’ve not been catching up with my cousin – my one and only 堂哥 – Richard. Called him out for dinner! Sushi Teh @ Raffles City. Glamorous place! XD Window shopping after that! KIV-ed 1 top from River Island!

Our dear friend Jerry’s finally out of ICU? Went down to TTSH to visit him, glad to see him as healthy as he can be! Hope you recover soon pal!

Had my first Jap lesson! Gosh I regretted it! This instructor’s class was soooooo basic! I wanted to learn conversational Jap! This instructor teaches how to write the basic Jap characters! Ahhhhhh
David Tao concert at night! Yeah Yeah! Very cool concert! Nicely arranged music. I’ve got the pics from the media, but have yet watermarked them. Meanwhile, check out the review!

Sun 20 Apr
Had my first Pilates class @ Woodlands! Exciting!
Knowing that I needed to get new clothes, Richard jio-ed me out to shop with his gf Kedy. Cool! Were at Far East when the 2 girls decided it had been a long time since we last shopped at Vivo, and so we jumped onto the cab and off we go! Walked into many of the branded shops, like A|X, Ted Baker (think that’s how it’s spelt, but it’s the one with the 2 rabbits hopping at the glass window), GAP, etc. Shiok! Even though they’re way beyond my budget, it feels good to just test wear the clothes. LoL. Bought myself 2 tops from MNG eventually, thanks to Richard who made the payment at the counter. Think I make a good 小女人. =D

I was stoning by the time I was back in office on Monday. And my muscles were starting to ache! Ouch!

Not much activities after work this week, except that I think I should start a parttime job by accompanying people for dinner. Have been doing that for the past months actually, as in – accompanying colleagues who are OT-ing for dinner. Wonder how much I could have earned if I can get paid. hahaha

It’s Friday tomorrow, and I’ve yet utilised the Iseatan $50 voucher and the Giordano $30 voucher, both due end Apr. Great.

Seriously.. is it the lack of enough rest?

Just a night out with cousin Richard, and I’m feeling so lethargic.

Feeling so restless at work.

Some things I wanna write about, but I’ve forgotten what.

Seems like there’s nothing much to update on these days.

Bought a Leaning Japanese book yesterday, it came along with a CD. Seems like I’m getting older, took me a while to catch up with the audio while looking at the words in the book, trying to recall how the sentences are phrased.

Starting my jap class this Sat.

Starting (hopefully) fitness class this Sun.

Collecting Mayday’s Stone’s book this Sat!

David Tao’s concert this Sat!

Mayday’s concert next Sat!

Mayday Ah Xin & Stone’s books autograph session @ IMM next Sun!

Looking forward =)

Sometimes I’m just glad that I’ve buddies who will respond to my last minute requests of meeting up.

Just happened that I need to take a breather after work today, after being told of things that had always been there but I’ve been avoiding it.

The time-spent-alone while waiting for LW was a nice break. Though I’m really, really tired from the not enough sleep over the past week, I went all the way to Tampines Mall after work.

Nice change of environment, though still crowded, but away from town, from my neighbourhood.

Spent some time thinking, was I rushing things, or was I letting things happen at its own pace?

Sometimes.. it’s just hard to even come to a conclusion.

Just let things be.

I had a wonderful Saturday!

Great meeting up with my uni khakis on Fri night! I think I gotta stop meeting them in groups! Seeing the lovey-dovey couples (was out with 9 other khakis, inclusive of 4 couples) made me feel so out of place lah =

But we still had a good laugh, with Yix’s “the other one” blending into the group within a short time. Photos will be up when they’re transferred out of my camera!

Woke up feeling groggy on Saturday morning. Quickly washed up and rushed out of house to meet L @ Bugis for lunch before proceeding to the toy shop, which was having a sale at 2pm. Ended up I was later than the arranged time, but slightly earlier than he was.

Just as the sale was about to start, we joined the queue and guess what.. I saw Bec’s hubby! Quickly called her to confirm and I was right! But bad timing. Baby Kate was asleep! Gosh I last saw her at my birthday bbq @ LW’s place last year! She has grown much over the past 6 months!

Got my Transformers toys! Photos will be up when I get them from L!

A supposed-movie afterwards (which we spent the whole afternoon trying to decide which movie to watch) ended up with a trip over to Aliwah Street to get L’s salsa shoes. LOL.. We were like tourists trying to find a place with a mini card-map in our hands. It started raining heavily just when we were about to reach the place -.- Almost drenched!

The rain dampened my mood lah.. Else could have walked back to Bugis!

Great Sat spent. Probably should start organising more bonding session with colleagues.
